Instead of the planned normal rest day I had to move my long run to today.

This was because my wife Sarah was away until late Sunday night so we had to make changes to the half marathon schedule.

The difference between today’s run and last Sunday’s run was that today was just for time, where as last Sunday’s was for a distance in the fastest possible time.

This is where my half marathon training differs from most other peoples (among other things). Instead of every week going out and trying to run as hard as possible I like to mix one week of doing that (i.e. run 6 or 7 miles as fast as possible) with one week of just running for a set amount of time.

So today was 1 hour and 15 minutes of just steady running. We covered just less than 7 and a half miles in the time, but as I sad that was not the important part of the training session.

Tomorrow is back to the resistance circuits but with more reps, I’ll let you know how it goes.
